Did I say we liked hot pepper paste?

We just went to the new H-Mart at the Diamond Jamboree Plaza in Irvine . We got this tub of hot pepper paste for only 5.99! It's huge! It's 6.6 pounds! It makes me laugh.

Broccoli + Chicken Curry

I bought a kitchen aid knife set and a new bamboo cutting board. I have a glass cutting board but had seen on Good Eats that glass dulls your knife! No wonder. So to test out my new knives I bought a whole chicken and chopped it up for dinner. It was my first experience in chopping up a full chicken. ;) Pretty tough. I should of read some instructions. I mixed the chicken w/ curry from trader joes. And cooked up some broccoli. Yummy! My hubbie ate two servings. You know you've done good when that happens. :D (clap clap clap)

Japanese Ground Chicken Soboro

Recipe: Ground Chicken Soboro

1 pound of ground chicken
6 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp mirin

Place all ingredients in pan saute until the moisture has evaporated. Serve over white rice. I served this w/ broccoli.

I basically followed this recipe.

I only used half the amount of sugar the recipe called for though. I've cooked this recipe a couple of times once with ground Turkey. I'm quite fond of ground meat and trader joes (that's where I got the meat). :D If you have watched Sweeney Todd you might not be. ;)
